Wrong, brainiac. Have you ever heard of the term "captured the high ground"? Does that mean that somebody was necessarily there and was expelled, or does it imply gaining the tactical advantage of topography?

You really aren't very smart, are you? You can continue to get your jollies off on your own. You're just beiing a pest now. I have nothing more to say about the issue.

In its literal use, it does necessarily mean that there are two or more competing parties seeking control of the area - so yes, it does necessarily mean that at least one claimant is denied his claim to the property. But you were not even using the word in that sense, rather only the word "captured" as it stood alone. So I'll ask you once again: Who did they capture it from? Or put another way, who asserted the competing claim?
